Holy Crap! The market has been up huge over the past year. I am sorry to tell you this, but your choice of fund, equities, or manager/s stinks. At this point you should just accept the iniquity of this situation, let it go, and get a new manager or set of equities. The dow is in the mid 13k's right now. There may be a correction or not, but by the end of this year we will be in the mid 14k's. Then after that it's anyone's bet.

the main needed ingredient is to get the economic equipment growing to be returned. particular the debt, credit status, commerce imbalance are all area of the difficulty, yet focusing too quickly on anybody of them won't be able to help. If the value for halting the deficit is to decrease spending plenty that it floods the job marketplace with laid of government workers, and stalls this comfortable restoration, then is it relatively worth it? i do no longer think of so. we would desire to look on the huge image and do what it takes to stay the two fiscally to blame mutually as additionally encouraging growth, exceptionally job growth. we've basically been for the time of the worst recession because of the fact the Thirties. it is not any longer a concern which would be solved over night. the reality that a million/2 human beings are not status in bread lines is something, a minimum of. And to those that blame Obama, keep in mind that the economic equipment almost imploded previously he became into elected. regardless of if he became into an economic genius and had the political climate to do regardless of he needed to, we nevertheless weren't going to get out of this without some economic discomfort.

There could be any number of explanations. What we would need to know is, which stocks and which bonds, and their individual weighting in the 401k's portfolio.
A good rule of thumb is for the portion of your portfolio allocated to stocks to be 100-your age.
